(13)         Consulting Agreements

 

The Company has entered into various consulting agreements for financial and business development services to the Company. Certain of these consulting agreements provide for cash compensation to the consultants; however most are based on issuances of shares in exchange for services.

 

Under the consulting agreements that provide for share issuances, shares were generally issued at the inception of the agreements for services provided between January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2013. There were no specified performance requirements and no provision in the agreements for return of the shares.  At March 31, 2013, the compensation associated with the shares was $1,858,572.
